Answer:
White-tailed deer fill the niche, or role, in ecosystems of both herbivore and prey. They are affected by, and themselves affect, their ecosystem. In forests, they have been described as a “keystone species” because their feeding activity can directly and indirectly affect many plants and animals.
Caliceal
Pertaining to a calyx (cup-shaped collecting chamber in the central portion of the kidney).
Answer:
Mechanical isolation
Explanation:
mechanical isolation is a form of prezygotic reproductive barrier, whereby similar species organisms become isolated and unable to successfully interbreed with each other to form zygote, as a result of incompatibility of their reproductive organ or structure, which prevents them from copulating. As a result of this, both species become separated as there is no gene flow between both.
The two species of juniper can be said to be kept separate by <em>mechanical isolation</em>, due to the differences and incompatibility of their reproductive structure.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
The thrifty gene hypothesis postulates that due to dietary scarcity during human evolution, people are prone to obesity by storing energy as fat, an ability to take advantage of rare periods of abundance and this is advantageous during times of food availability. individuals with greater adipose reserves would more likely survive famine. This tendency to store fat could lead to obesity.
FTO is an enzyme that is encoded in humans by FTO gene located on chromosome 16. Increase in this enzyme is associated with the regulation of energy intake but not feeding reward. Also, the set point theory indicates that bodies are meant to stay within a narrow weight range but it is susceptible to chnage overtime.
The bond formed between the sugar of one nucleotide and the phosphate of an adjacent nucleotide is a covalent bond. A covalent bond is the sharing of electrons between atoms. A covalent bond is stronger than a hydrogen bond (hydrogen bonds hold pairs of nucleotides together on opposite strands in DNA).
